Its in the market just to beat Mahindra Logan

 

Exterior Exterior is some like improved version of mahindra logan, not very appealing, ground clear is very poor.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Seats are comfortable but leather material is not upto the mark, dash board stuff is not good at all, the speedo meter is like it was in the old fiat.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very effective😄 not for the sports car lover just as a performance vise, 90 bhp As the average is concerned the person said me it delivers with ac on in the city is 14 to 15. gaer shift is quite smooth coparing with its companion.

 

Ride Quality & Handling The best part I liked was that Ac fan was in full and I was climbing on the road n the person adjacent to me said u can drive this it in any gear so from second i directly shifted on 5th gear(m at speed 38-40 when is shifted n note i was climbing the road) you won't belive no knocking at all it was just moving like a automatic transmission this make my face smile.SO THIS MEANS THAT IN THE CITY YOU ARE THE KING because where you need to drive bumper to bumper driving you dont have to struggle for gear shift, shift can be done only at the time of overtaking so, if you are planing for city ride where traffic is like jam packed here this Etios can be the king.

 

Final Words So my final words are this that if you are planning to buy this than please go for the top variant because its top model is only value for money, also in the base model which can cost you 5.50 lak is not a worth buying because there is no power steering in the base model, and for comfort and average and for performance you can go for this but you have to make yourself prone to its interiors like the speedometer, dash board and auckward ac wents they just look like a that they are fitted externally after fitting the dash board.

 

Areas of improvement Exteriors, plastic material, leather, it should have a foot rest when I was driving i was searching where it has gone😦and most importantly THE BREAKS, I drove the top variant that is VX, it has got ABS but before I go further if you have ever driven the ABS version just think and feel n try to remember the soft touch and hard breaking, here you realy wont feel like it has got ABS, when i slightly applied break i felt like my old accent which has got only power break n i didn't get the feel what we get with the ABS that is you have to apply breaks like a normal power break it doesn't give you the feel of ABS. SO, according to me breaks should have been improved, and also some boot space, and tyres space.
